The Gros Tilleul tree

A tour of historic Samoëns

Guided tours of Samoëns' historical and architectural heritage. Follow the guides from the Société des Maçons de Samoëns, an association that has inherited the stoneworking tradition in the Upper Giffre Valley, and you will hear all about the history of Samoëns and its famous migrant craftsmen. From the fountain to La Grenette, from the castle to the stables and beneath the roots of the great lime tree, the guides will help you see beyond the stones to the life of the old village huddling round the church and its current development into a summer and winter holiday resort.
